Most men and more than half of the women in North America work. In fact, many people who are lazy and don’t work for a living are looked down upon, such as people who have got a fortune from their parents, or those who receive money from the government when they are young enough to take a job.
Americans usually are expected to work hard at their regular jobs. They have believed that they felt shameful if they did not work as hard and carefully as they could, and God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. This is called the "work ethic". Its roots are in the Bible’s teachings: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." and "Do not work to please men, but just please God." For 400 years or more, it has been a characteristic of Americans. Historians say that this "work ethic" was perhaps the single most important reason for the rapid economic growth and continuing success of the United States,
For the sake of better work, now companies are much more flexible in the number of days and hours their employees work. Many offices now allow their employees to choose the time they begin in tile morning, so long as they arrive before 10:00 am and work for 8 hours.
In America, there are women who choose to stay home as homemakers rather than to pursue a career. This is possible if the husband’s salary is enough to support the family. These women value family over career, and are not considered lazy by any means.
According to the passage, tile American economy grows fast essentially because of
选项
A、the people’s attitude towards work
B、people’s hard and careful work
C、the role of the government
D、the influence of the religion
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题询问根据这篇文章,美国经济快速发展从根本上说是因为什么。根据文章第二段最后三句话可知美国经济发展是因为“职业道德”的影响,而这种“职业道德”起初是来自《圣经》的教义,这说明美国经济的快速发展事实上是受宗教的影响,故选项D为正确答案。选项A(人们对待工作的态度)和选项B(人们勤劳细心的—厂作)是“职业道德”的要求,但不是经济快速发展的根本原因。选项C(美国政府的作用)在文中没有提到,故不选。
